Pros and cons of the menstrual cup

• April 20, 2024

There are more and more options that women have for "our days": sanitary napkins, tampons, vaginal sponges ...

On this occasion, we will focus on menstrual cups, an ecological option that, like the rest of the alternatives, has advantages and disadvantages that you should know.

For example, among its pros as regards its use is the time that can be used, which is around 12 hours, depending on the manufacturer.

Because of this, some women prefer to use it only for sleep, or in situations where a towel or a tampon can not be changed.

On the other hand, unlike tampons, they do not absorb vaginal moisture and are very useful for girls who have little flow, because they do not dry out the vagina and with them there is no risk of toxic shock syndrome.

Negative opinions indicate that it takes time to get used to using it. Putting it on and removing it can be difficult and cumbersome.

Also, when you are not in a particular bathroom, rinsing it is also a bit uncomfortable, since you have more contact with the blood.

Have you used it? Do you think the best option?
